They may be brought from home on a voluntary basis. Otherwise, they will be furnished by the school. There are a few things that can distract from learning in the classroom, such as pens, markers, pencil sharpeners, and toys. We appreciate your help in having your child keep these items at home.

Birthdays Birthdays are important in first grade. We will make cards for each child on their birthday. You may send a treat if you wish, but it is not expected. Guidelines from the Health Department mandate that any treat has to be store bought and in the original wrapping. Due to allergies, nonfood items are preferred (pencils, stickers, erasers, book donation to the class). For the children with a birthday in the summer we will celebrate their birthday the week they are Star of the Week.

Homework A homework packet will come home every Monday and is to be worked on throughout the week then returned on Friday. My High Frequency booklet will come home daily and needs to be practiced and returned each day. Shortly after school begins students will bring home Reading for all Learners books. They need to be read these books at home and return them each day. Math games, math websites, flashcards and extra practice sheets are available on our class website.

Class Dojo Class Dojo helps keep us focused and on task. Students earn points for positive behavior Students lose points for off task or negative behavior. We evaluate our day at the end of class. Parents will get a note with a passcode to log in and see how their child is doing in class.
